The following material assumes
you have successfully created
a palette and now wish to use
those colors in a fabric.

To use color in a fabric, the
desired colors are dragged from
a palette file into the fabric’s
colorway window. That topic is
covered in the section (below) entitled
“Color Dragging.” From the
colorway, colors are assigned
to individual threads in the
warp and weft either manually
(using the color crayon) or
automatically (using the cornucopia
tool). See “Coloring
Fabrics” (below) for the details.

For example, suppose you have
the palette and colorway windows
illustrated on the right.

When you click on a color chip
the cursor changes to a crayon.
Hold the mouse button down
and move the mouse. The color
crayon follows the mouse. Move
the cross cursor over a color
chip in the palette or the
colorway, and the chip changes
to the color of the mouse. Release
the mouse button to make
the change permanent.

You wish to
change the black in the warp
(colorway window) to the turquoise
shown in the palette window.

Click on the turquoise color chip in
the palette

drag it on top of
the black chip in the warp/
major area of the colorway. Note
that the black chip turns turquoise.

Release the mouse while the
chip is gray, and it will remain
the new color.

Any color chip may be dragged
in this fashion. Color chips may
be dragged within a palette,
within a colorway, or between
palettes.

All information associated with
the color chip (such as its name,
technical description, and
printer color value) go along with
the chip when it is dragged.
